I was wondering if Gingerbread will drop for the N1 tomorrow because the Nexus S is also releasing tomorrow. I mean like when the iPhone 3G released the updates for the iPhone 2G could be downloaded from iTunes. I know the N1 and NS are different, but we've already seen N1's on Gingerbread from Google leaked...

It's possible. But I'm guessing probably not. They need to keep gingerbread a selling point of the nexus s for a bit longer.

I'd give it a 50/50 shot of being pushed this weekend at some point. I doubt we'll have to wait another week for it to start trickling out.
We'll get it once the AOSP gets dropped. Don't even need to wait for a push.

Traditionally, we get the OTA a few weeks before the AOSP gets dropped. I have seen rumors that AOSP will happen sometime this weekend, but we've heard a lot of rumors concerning Gingerbread so far.
Hopefully it gets released this weekend. I would love to have Gingerbread on my Nexus One since I'm waiting a bit longer to get my S.

The N1 is discontinued and never sold a lot anyway. I don't think it having Gingerbread will have a noticeable impact on NS sales.
Maybe or maybe not released this weekend...Hopefully sooner than later

Yea, but having GB on our N1 might stop some making a switch to the NS.
IDK
WTF
BBQ
I doubt that many people will abandon the N1 and move to the NS *solely* because it already has Gingerbread. If they make a switch, it will likely be to take advantage of new hardware. Or something.
The OS shouldn't really be that much of a selling point (versus an N1) since we know that our devices will get the update sooner rather than later.
I am here to rant, sorry! I downloaded the ota update for 2.3.4 pushed from Google to my STOCK nexus One. Phone had been running perfectly. After the update, battery life was shortened. Then, the phone kept resetting the date to 1980, a time I don't really need to revisit, big hair, etc...After a couples of resets, kept doing the same thing. Next day, phone wouldn't turn on at all! I took it in for repair & the MB is fried, won't turn on. Bought it in Jan 2010 when 1st released from Google Web store, so the HTC warranty is expired (1 yr), TMO says they don't send the updates, & Google, "who you gonna call there"? This selling model didn't work & we all know it. No one wants to take responsibility,& I'm screwed. If I had rooted & rommed, then I'd understand, but an ota update to a stock phone?? I loved my N1 & am so upset. I won't buy another one from Ebay because my issue with the handset was it had limited internal phone storage for loading apps.
So, now what? I want a dual-core phone & I just resigned on TMO (no comments on this, I know!). Want the Galaxy S2 but TMO won't get it. Like the G2X but seems kind of heavy. Do we like the Sensation? Hercules is to be 4.5 in not sure but think that may be too big. Suggestions please?
When my n1 dies I'm gonna bury it in the ground next to my first dog from childhood. And cry

Not a bad idea. Seeing this come from your N1 makes me want to cry, all the good times we had!!!
The LG G2x has received rave reviews. Cyanogen purchased one for him to mod on, and he loves it. The HTC Sensation is an amazing phone as far as the specs are concerned. It has more ram than the G2x has (768 vs 512), and it has a higher res display. But it does have a locked bootloader which may make it difficult for modding. But if that isn't your plan, then it should be a great phone.
Thanks for the input, decisions....
Am i the only man on earth that believes phones reach their end of life to soon? I currently own a HTC Droid Incredible(the original launched in 2010), and i'm just a little pissed off that my phone probably isn't going to be receiving Sense2.0/3.0 or gingerbread, OFFICIALLY. Gingerbread is understandable, but come on, sense 2.0 released 4 months after the Inc. launched, and still no update. These sorta things happen to every phone, no matter what OS they run, or who manufactures them. I think it's BS that i should have to buy a new, 600$ phone every year in order to revive the newest version of the operating system it runs. Another great example, Palm. I also use to own one of their beautiful Web-OS devices(and i loved it BTW), But the updates i was promised on the development website were cancelled and never released, or at least, i switched to Android before they were after waiting 6 months.
My point is, companies almost seem to forget about their devices, even only after a couple of months of release. The device could be completely capable of running the software bug-free, but they decide to throw it to the side, and focus on the future, when most of us still hold the past in our hands.
I agree too.. Well companies have always been like that.. and their only goal is to attract consumers and make money..
They need a better way to do it. I don't know many normal users who've updated firmware / OS.
Came across an iPhone user before christmas who was really frustrated that no apps or games worked anymore. I think the OS was 2 1/2 years out of date. They were going to buy a new phone before I upgraded the OS for them and everything suddenly worked!

Why else do people flock to XDA?
The developers here are the stuff of our technological dreams. Moore's law dictates a cycle of 24 months for obsolescence, and with our advances in UX and algorithm, this fleeting time is cut even shorter by the abhorred shears of Atropos. XDA lends a lifeline to our devices, and surely I say to you, without CyanogenMod in my phone I'd feel very blue. So if you would ask me if Androids dream of Electric Sheep, I'd say that in this site their only nightmare is apathy.
I totally agree
Indeed. It's quite depressing to think that the HTC Sensation is probably going to be knocked off it's flagship podium before I actually manage to procure a device that doesn't have copious amounts of dust under the screen or other such elementary problems.
Hence I bought the phone I liked, at the price I can afford, with the functions I want.
Next upgrade is probably never, unless I get some $ windfall.
I wanted to buy a Desire S since it has everything I needed until I found out there's no Sense 3.0, WTF it got released almost the same time Sensation did
I won't buy an expensive phone because it'll go down without an effort
TBH the best companies that offers updates are Samsung and Sony Ericsson, HTC is between medicore and horrible and Motorola is below the center of the earth.

I do.agree with you, but like the first reply, not everyone updates their devices. We are the part.of the community that loves being in sync, with the latest and fastest, but the pace of Moore's law is so fast It's almost impossible. Btw, I have the Kingdom gingersense 3.0 ROM.running on my Inc, It's awesome,.sense 3.0 is.epic
I'm thinking of apple users when i read this. Get an iphone, looks and feels great and next thing you know it there's a newer version of it and your old one won't even receive the software update.
You're right when you say that companies worry too much of the future and forget to think of their current devices.

Haha, exactly my point. Though Motorola is really good with updating their droids, but thats because Verizon pays them to do it. The newest Droid x 2.3.3 update is super buggy, my friend has it and keeps complaint about the camera crashing, and random restart, and freezing

Uh, you have that confused. Who took 7 months to update their phone from 1.6 to 2.1? Sony Ericsson. I'm sure we all know about the U.S. Galaxy S update fiasco. Motorola has got to be the best (in the U.S. with their high end phones) IMO. Droid X was released with 2.1, 2 months later it received 2.2. Last month it recieved 2.3. Same with the OG Droid. Launched with 2.0, recieved 2.1 I believe 3-4 months afterward and 2.2 last summer (early August). For HTC, the Mytouch 3G for example. Launched July, 29th 2009, with 1.5, got a 1.6 update several months later, then recieved 2.1 and in November recieved 2.2. Of course it ran horribly with 2.2 but HTC still updated it. Now none of the companies are perfect at updating, but HTC and Motorola have it best (IMO).

It all depends where you live. In USA, Motorola is pretty good at updating their devices. In other parts of the world, they're horrible. Samsung is exactly the opposite - international SGS got 2.2 and was the first non-Nexus device with 2.3. In USA, some of their phones got 2.2 recently. So it's hard to say.
Haha, totally agree man, the fascinated got 2.2 like a months ago, the galaxy tab is just starting to get upgrades, reason I avoided Samsung, even if the phones are beautiful, they lack with updates. I thought HTC with their track record would much a fast sense 2.0 update for my phone, but never did even after confirmation
So... I was on the Negri Electronics site about to buy this beast of a phone and I think, maybe I'll look at one more review. So I pull up the verge and I see this:
http://mobile.theverge.com/2012/7/9/3146268/lg-subsidiaries-quad-core-smartphone
So they are planning on releasing a new quad-core 10+ megapixel phone in September?... Bgr reported essentially the same thing. Thats only two months away! I hate to be a spoiler of sorts but this is crazy. I can't believe that weeks after they finally release their new flagship they drop this bomb on us. I'm glad I didn't buy it but at the same time it makes me kind of sad because I really wanted to love an lg phone again. Guess I'll have to wait until September

It is RUMORED to be announced in September. When do you think you'll be able to buy it given that the Optimus 4X HD is not even released in more than half of the world?

HEY...that's too cool, honestly I thought I'd never see this kind of 'argumentation' again...but here we are. During the 80's we had this running gag 'Don't buy today, tomorrow it's twice the power for half the money!'
I really advice u to wait. Not until September because I heard a rumor that in December...or perhaps January... Stay tuned!
Quad core Krait S4 Sounds nice but i'll stick to the 4x for now. This won't make it into store till December at least IMHO.

Yes this is a great phone for all matters. 4g is nice but only a concern if your carrier provides it. Only one here in Australia does, and they would not be my first choice of carrier based on previous experience.
On another note: How is LG in regards to rooting and and flashing custom roms? Coming from an older Galaxy S and first generation tab, I would ask for a comparison in regards torooting and flashing Samsung devices. I know how valuable good dev support is.

Easier than Samsung but do not expect development by lg at all. So that's the advice and ask all the lg owners, I got 6 different lg phones non of them lg update released yet, custom roms on every one. Of them or I'll still be in 2 with 1.6, or 2.2 in the others it sucks but is easier than Samsung for sure no counters or any other weird stuff

LG already released an Update for the 4x, it was 2 weeks after i bought this phone.
And they are working on the next Update (V10c).
So i think LG want to make things better, and so far they do!

It has been confirmed by an official Samsung press release. Even with Google's PDK, OEM devices could be up to 6 months slower at getting a major software update, sounds like a good reason to go Nexus to me.
That's shameful.

Samsung lying and putting out vague statements about upgrade time frames???
ON MY INTERNET????
I AM SHOCKED!!!!!
Seriously, this is all they ever do.. ALL THE TIME.. They are the absolute worst when it comes to support and upgrades..
Ask a former Samsung Moment Owner (I can attest for this myself)
Ask a Samsung Epic 4G Owner (I can attest for this myself)
Ask a Samsung Galaxy S Owner
Ask a Samsung Galaxy Tab Owner (I can attest for this myself)
Ask a Samsung [insert any Samsung product they have to support themselves] Owner
Every one of them it's the same song and dance. "The upgrade will be out in a couple months"... *couple months go by* "Hey Samsung where is that upgrade".. Samsung: "........."... 5 months later upgrade drops without announcement.
N7 rocks
I am afraid of Samsung because it is run by a guy named Kwon and that is sort of like Tae Kwon Do and that reminds me of the time when I got kicked in the face 25 years ago when I was a kid and that makes no sense but owell that's how it is. /TheEnd.
P.S. Nexus7 is a great deal on a fantastic piece of hardware at the time it was new. You can't apply the logic to something that happens 6 months from now or anytime at all really because technology moves much faster than the wow factor for gadgets. Your shiny doesn't wear off before a new shiny comes out.
So be happy with whatever you buy in the moment and when something shinier comes out sell the old turbo charged shiny to one of your dumb friends that can't mod it and then buy your new shiny and turbo charge it and let the process carry on into infinity.
That article is about US versions of the Galaxy S III, not the Nexus 7.
